In order to keep the studbook manageable (in terms of number of tortoises and contacts between participants and coordinator), it has been decided that the studbook will operate exclusively in Europe. Contacts have been made with Michael Ogle, author of the “North American Regional Studbook” for Pyxis arachnoides (4 th edition). However this North American studbook is not intended for distribution. Although Pyxis a. arachnoides appears to be present in Europe in sufficiently large numbers for a viable studbook, the situation for the other two subspecies, brygooi and oblonga, is somewhat different. Although both subspecies are bred in captivity, the total number of living tortoises in the studbook is to low to form a genetical healthy captive population. In the (near) future it might be advisable to establish closer contacts outside Europe to import tortoises of both subspecies (brygooi and oblonga). 2.
